hi pals..

this is my take:

speed takes the lead role in RC; you gotta do the passages pretty fast, accuracy would follow suite.. this was my experience.. i scored pretty well in VA/RC last time with lacklusture shows in QA/DI... gotta run now!

cheers

hi,
The problem in RC arise basically because of lack of interest in its content. I usually sleep by the time I finish a passage on theology, english classics etc. Please mail us links containing some online repository of abstract passages so that I at least generate some interest in it.
bye

well.. check out www.commentarymagazine.com. this has always been one of my
favorite havens on the net.. you can find a gamut of topics, both abstract and abstruse... the contents can be intriguingly tough sometimes...
